OK, Slim, this is some kind of wonderful! I used our famous New Mexico green chilies, which gave this a nice mellow heat. I'm sure the kick will get bigger as it ages a little! Say, in about a week!lol I used the lime juice option, as was glad I did. I love the gentle tartness it gives. This will be made again and again, I know. Thnx so much for sharing your fab recipe, Scott. Made for PAC Fall 2009.

From the heart of Steeler Country, I have fun feeding family (2 young boys) and friends. Lots and lots of friends during the football season (I did mention Steeler Country right?).

I am partial to grilling and smoking (probably partly because it's an excuse to be outside) but enjoy all cooking except pastries and breads (I'm an expert in the art of making hockey pucks).
I am an avid angler (trout mostly). I follow Steelers football and Penguins hockey religiously. The Pirates have sucked since I was a kid so baseball doesn't get any love in this family. :)
I work as a technical consultant for a software company and my wife is a stay at home Mom.
I only review recipes I like, so yes, I give out a disproportionate number of 5 star reviews. I don't see the value in bashing a recipe that just doesn't suit my taste. It doesn't benefit anyone.
Thanks for checking out my AM page!
